Bad fiscal forecast dumped late on Friday
Bad fiscal forecast dumped late on Friday
July 26, 2010 8:19 AM
You know the rule of thumb. If it's bad news dump it late on Friday and hope nobody notices. That's exactly what the Obama White House did with their prediction that the deficit will reach a new high of $1.47 trillion of your dollars.
The government is borrowing 41 cents of every dollar it spends and unemployment is expected to remain above 9% under Obama's fiscal policies.
White House budget director Peter Orszag said the numbers represented a "fiscal situation that requires attention."
Republicans saw it differently.
"Our way of life is being threatened by an economy with too much debt because of a government that spends too much and taxes too much," Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House Republican whip, said in a statement. "Republicans are ready to govern and put a check on the Obama administration's unprecedented spending binge so that Americans can get back to work and our children have more opportunity, not a bigger bill because our generation failed to lead responsibly."
No real change is forecast in the next decade. Not only will this hurt congressional Democrats in this fall's election but if this prediction is correct and there is little to no improvement, Obama will be a one term president.
